John's current release No Better Than This made Rolling Stone magazine's "Best Albums of 2010"

#12. John Mellencamp No Better Than This - Rounder

Folk-blues idealism — recorded on a mono tape machine, in places like a Georgia

When Mellencamp sings "A Graceful Fall," he channels a pride and rage as fresh
as last night's business reports.
